Answer- Yes, hell yes. They were complete morons that lacked the skills to coach at even an almost average level.
I understand Cheeks inherited a flawed roster, but he wouldn't even try to shuffle the dysfunctional front line despite the terrible returns. Loyer was even more of a bumbling fool.

The first game after Cheek's was fired everyone was like Yeah!!! Loyer The Destroyer!!! This is how the pistons play when they have an actual coach!!! Lets sign Loyer to an extension!! Then every game the rest of the season everyone was like "who is this Loyer Bum why didn't we just sign Lionel Hollins!" And now everyone is like Phewww good thing we didn't sign Hollins, now we have the best coach since Larry Brown, Ron Jeremy!!!

This has to be at least 99% accurate

Because most people have never played on a legit basketball team with an actual coach.
In order to have success in any field you need to have some kind of structure. Some kind of plan that you can turn to regardless of what else is happening and not only execute but trust that by doing so you'll fight through whatever obstacle is in front of you.
Cheeks had no system or structure as far as I could see, especially on D. We didn't communicate well, didn't know how to defend the PnR...epic fustercluck on D IMO.
Loyer inherited that and didn't change anything.
You can blame the players as much as you like but it's the coach's job to put players in a position to excel. Cheeks and Loyer failed to do that.
Cheeks was gifted Drummond, Monroe and Smith - a trio that SVG has stated is potentially the best PF/C trio in the East. Cheeks misused them until he was fired. Loyer misused them from there.
Those 3 guys might not guarantee a playoff spot but geez, we're not that far away considering the rest of the East

Let's just say they were on the same level as the grammar used in your question.

I thought the tongue-in-cheekness of Loyer the Destroyer was apparent.

I don't think Cheeks was that bad. He had Jennings playing well and Cheeks had us top 8 in the East for a while. I disagreed how he played Monroe. I think our owner killed our teams hope when he allowed Loyer to coach. That guy Loyer was terrible.

They really good assistant coaches, but not good at being head coaches.

Yes! Cheeks isn't a coach you'd take over SVG, but the team was going better under him than Loyer. I didn't like the KCP benching even if he was struggling with his shot. The perimeter D was so bad otherwise last year that he still was more a plus than a minus. If this was Gores just having a tantrum, it certainly didn't help the team. If the plan was to save the draft pick, it's an object lesson on why planning based on a lottery is poor planning. Sadly, the Pistons have been a miracle of bad planning of late. Hope SVG can turn things around.

He capitalized and punctuated this time.

Rasheed should've been made head coach instead of Loyer.
THAT, at least, would've been interesting.
